Halloween 2023 - Pumpkin Pie & Sylvester

Wednesday, November 1, 2023

Dale went to Lunds after the gym and decided to pick up some pumpkin pie. It was our first pumpkin pie of the season and it was fabulous. 

Halloween 2023

Uneventful Halloween but that's just fine with me. Having Halloween on a school day as a teacher is never easy so just making it through the day is a big deal. 

We got about 2-3 inches of snow overnight which makes this the 2nd snowiest Halloween after the Halloween Blizzard of 1991. For that storm I believe we got about 8 inches of snow on Halloween Day itself although there ended up being about 20 inches total by the time the storm ended a couple days later. The above photo was taken this afternoon during my walk home and as you can see much of the snow was melted.

Our backyard is a rather shady now that the sunn isn't getting as high in the sky so a bit more snow was on the ground there. 

Sylvester was quite a bit more anxious about being fed tonight than usual. Here he's caught in a brief moment of patience. 

The sun setting. 

Dale and I watched a little bit of The Wolfman with Lon Chaney Jr. on TCM.

After he ate Sylvester was much more calm. 

After The Wolfman Dale and I watched Sorry Wrong Number with Barbra Stanwyck. It was very good although I had a hard time staying awake at the end of the movie due to my exhaustion. 

Had an Old Fashioned tonight. 

We did not receive trick or treaters tonight (image from the_boozy_doodler@instagram). Ah well, maybe next year...
